The Chicago Blackhawks, who defeated the Boston Bruins in a six-game Stanley Cup finals series, ran a full-page ad in today's Boston Globe thanking the city of Boston and the Bruins organization for "the remarkable welcome you showed our team and the many Chicagoans who visited."

The text of the ad, signed by team president John McDonough and owner Rocky Wirtz, while not specifically mentioning the Boston Marathon bombings and their aftermath, alludes to the city's resiliency.

"Like the rest of the world," it reads, "Chicagoans have been reminded in recent days of Boston's strength. Please know we tip our hat to your city's big heart and gracious spirit. You lead by example and have set the bar very high for others to follow."
